Went out yesterday (Wed) as well. Water was 60 degrees. That fog was thick in the morning. Finally got a headlamp, so I don't get my ass ran over. Was nice by the end of the trip though. 1:15pm. I caught two decent sized calico bass, one baby sized (funny how them little ones that are barely bigger than the plastics feel their so tough and eat something half their bodyweight).
Was nice to meet John for the second time. He told me he got hit hard over by Capistano Beach (where the bridge cross is) fishing halibut but the line was sawed off. He said he also got two sand bass.
Thinking about doing a project on the back of my kayak so that I can take my dog out there with me and I stay in or close to the harbor. Do dogs do well out on the water, bouncing around on a yak? She's a medium sized golden retriever. I think if I leave the bait tank and customize the back and open it up more where the back hatch is located she'd have enough room back there to lay down.
Thanks for the reports fellas. With my homemade kayak I don't think I'd try a surf launch. Would be brutal not to make it.
